Hi Brandi,Maybe lots on a pond (full of fish) would be a desirable thing to buyers.If you want to sell cleared lots and you and your partner do not want to be Paul Bunyan, you could look for a contractor that has one of these:https://www.youtube.com/watch?

I recommend to every investor not opt even it is in the most desirable part of a metropolitan. 

It is also much more desired than carpet (at least in my area).Your numbers seem very high. 

The unit will be renovated to high standards and its location is very desirable, so I'm hoping some potential tenants with plans to move in a few months will see the ad and bite.

I’ve been looking at the south side near the University of Chicago as I have heard of several initiatives taking place soon that may make the area more desirable.

I have stumbled upon a group of duplexes (8 doors plus property with electric and sewer ready for more) for sale in a very desirable developing area of town.

Regardless of my incorrect assumption of her desire to invest in real estate, the inquiry started my journey.I am currently active duty military and my husband and I were looking for a home that we could rent when we move to our next base in a year.

We have also been able to help newer investors find their first investment properties and have put them in contact with local agents in the desired area.

However, you could be the trustee and the beneficiary if you so desired or replace the trustee with someone you trusted and have complete control as well as anonymity.

The fact that the city has rent control likely means that it is a desirable area where rents tend to increase.
